The essentials of alliteration.
Alliteration is when two words share the same opening sound.
Alliterative pairs of words are often fun to say.
People love to use related alliterative words to make catchy slogans.
To be alliterative, the first letters of two words must sound the same.
Queen and cool are alliterative because they share a similar sound, even if the letters are different.
Cheese, celery, and cat, meanwhile, are not alliterative because their opening sounds are different, even if their starting letters are the same.
To find out if two words are alliterative, say them out loud!
The essentials of echolocation
Although bats are not blind, they don’t have very good night vision.
To find their food, they use their ultra-sensitive hearing to find food.
The bats that rely on echolocation eat insects like moths, fireflies and mosquitoes.
They also often have very large ears.
Bats use high-pitched sounds and listen for the echoes.
The echoes produced will tell the bat where the nearest food is, down to how far away it is.
We cannot hear these echoes because they are too high pitched for us to hear.
The process of echolocation is also used by whales and dolphins to find food underwater.
Sonar, used by airplanes and submarines, uses the same principle to navigate where most people cannot see.
Target Audience
The game is suited for fans of figurative language. 🙂
The game has no adult themed content.
Bats in Action
They’re even more awesome to look at in live action. And much like a certain caped crusader, “scary” doesn’t mean “bad.” Insect-eating bats can eat a lot of mosquitoes in a single hour.
